Nine problems cover more advanced Algebra, such as using the quadratic formula, radical expressions, absolute value equations and inequalities (Ex. |x-1|>10), sequences, systems of equations, quadratic inequalities, functions, matrices, roots of polynomials, complex numbers, and logs.
Intermediate algebra questions are some of the toughest questions (9) on the ACT Math Test. To compensate for the difficulty of the topic, almost all of the intermediate algebra problems will be in basic form, meaning that you don’t need to sort through a mess of words to find the question. Check out the examples for each topic at http://www.sparknotes.com/testprep/books/act/chapter10section4.rhtml
1. Solving & Factoring Quadratic Equations 2. Solving Systems of Equations 3. Relationship between Sides of an Equation 4. Functions 5. Matrices 6. Logarithms
